Thank you for the robust feedback!

How are you gendered on the phone?

Since making this post I have started using it on the phone, and I have not yet been misgendered.

Weight inconsistencies being managed with volume... No dramatic pitch changes...

Yeah I definitely struggle with my range when using this voice. It's getting slightly better, but I have significantly fewer pitches to express myself.

There is a quality to the voice that feels a bit boyish to me

I think I know what you are referring to, but am not sure how to address it ;-;

Candid clip

I will try to upload one later, that would be a good idea!

You've done a lovely job and I'm sure it has taken an immense amount of work to get here

Thank you so much! It hasn't been easy, that's for sure.

honestly I think it might be a combination of pitch falling back and its influence on weight - it just reads a bit heavy to my ears, and there might be some minor inconsistencies with resonance, but honestly I have a hard time separating brightness from pitch perceptually

Feel free to tag me if you make a new recording!

I have significantly fewer pitches to express myself.

same girl, ugh - it is such a huge pain to be unable to be as expressive as I want because my voice will break if it goes to high, and that leads me to become insecure and not even be as expressive as I could be!

I still think within your pitch range you probably have enough room for more pitch variation within the pitches you're speaking at, the clip came across as in that fuzzy area bordering flat or monotone at times (but definitely wasn't monotone, for sure). Regardless it's not that important, stuff like that is far less important than weight and size / resonance.
